    1. Select a tool that allows for a line.

      For example:

        Revit Architecture - Revit Structure
      • Click Home tabModel panel (Model Line).
      • Revit MEP
      • Click Architect tabModel panel (Model Line).
    2. Click Modify | Place Lines tab (or respective Modify | Place <Element> tab or Modify | Create <Element> tab)Draw panel (Line).
    3. On the Options Bar:
      1. Optionally, for Offset, specify a value.
      2. Optionally, select Radius and specify a value.

        A radius creates fillets at the specified radius between line segments, allowing you to create a rounded chain of lines. A line must be joined to the end of another line for a fillet to display. If a line is connected to more than one line, a fillet cannot be created.

        The following image shows line segments sketched without Radius selected and line segments sketched with Radius selected.

        NoteIf you specify a radius, the Offset option is overridden.
    4. Click in the drawing area to specify the start point of the line.
    5. Move the cursor and click to specify the end point of the line.
      NoteYou can also use listening dimensions to specify the length of the line. See Listening Dimensions.
